Is Co-Management just a more granular either-or choice?

Let me preface this by saying that I haven't yet seen the Ignite demo of Co-Management, so this may have been addressed there.  If so, I apologize for not being more prepared.

 

Once we enable co-management, will we have to choose for specific capabilities whether they are managed by on-prem (SCCM and GPO) or Cloud (Intune), or will both platforms be able to manage the same type of capabilities at once?  For example, can some settings on a computer be configured via group policy, while others are configured by an intune configuration policy?  Or if I have compliance policies in both SCCM and Intune that target a computer, will it evaluate both policies?


Thanks!

    You will be able to choose workloads to move from SCCM to Intune for management.  When you first enable CoMgmt, SCCM will manage all workloads.  Then you can use a wizard in SCCM to move workloads to Intune - for example: Software Update -> WuFB, resource access profiles, conditional access.

      So it will not be possible to have a computer have updates managed in the cloud, but also get additional updates published through system center? If I move that workload over, do I lose the ability to push third party software updates to clients using SCUP and SCCM?

      Is moving a workload an all or nothing thing, or can management of a workload be configured per client or collection?

        You are right that third party updates are not part of Windows Update for Business (at least not at the moment, it is a common ask and we are looking into it). In a co-management environment you can continue to use SCCM to manage those. In a cloud only environment Intune can help manage these updates with the Intune Management Extension through PowerShell scripts.
